Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flavorful We love these pellets. The temperature held steady all day. We did not have to add pellets during our cooking process. The flavor added to the pork was not overly hickory but just enough. Would buy again

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Burns well We were worried about these pellets burning differently from the smoker brands. These burned just perfect and have a great flavor that is smoked into the meat. We smoked pork ribs and tri tip. They came out so good. Now we have an alternative.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great flavor This huge 25lb bag was enough to get through almost 3 separate smoking sessions! It burns evenly and makes a savory rich hickory flavor. My favorite thing we cooked was the viral Billionaire Bacon Twists. So easy and so addictive! Made them for a snack on Super Bowl Sunday and every single person went crazy for them! The Hickory pellets really brought out the flavor. I’m excited to try the other flavors from Kingsford! Definitely recommend these if you have a pellet grill. Also, my brother who rents our garage apartment tried some DIY smoker method for his charcoal grill and it turned out pretty amazing too. So even if you don’t have a pellet grill you can google how to use these on your charcoal grill for hickory smoked flavor!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good for taste bad for the smoker We used these pellets to make some short ribs on the pellet grill. First let me say that they added a really nice flavor to the ribs. That being said, they do give off more smoke than others we’ve used and had a LOT of dust. So while it gives a good flavor, be mindful of the smoke and that you will have to vacuum out the hopper and insides when it’s all done.
